Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R80 — Question 102

Which is the correct order of a log flow processed by SmartEvent components:

Answer options

• A. Firewall > Correlation Unit > Log Server > SmartEvent Server Database > SmartEvent Client
• B. Firewall > SmartEvent Server Database > Correlation Unit > Log Server > SmartEvent Client
• C. Firewall > Log Server > SmartEvent Server Database > Correlation Unit > SmartEvent Client
• D. Firewall > Log Server > Correlation Unit > SmartEvent Server Database > SmartEvent Client

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct sequence is D because logs first flow from the Firewall to the Log Server, where they are stored. Then, the Correlation Unit processes the logs, after which they are sent to the SmartEvent Server Database, and finally accessed by the SmartEvent Client. The other options do not follow this correct flow of log processing.
